elegANT

------------------------------------------

This ant that I know,
A meticulous beau,
Is a slave to the mirror he keeps.
(He needs it on hand
To check he looks grand) -
How often this little beau peeps!

The world is his oyster,
Within it he'll roam -
He loves it to pieces,
It's the walls of my home...
